Real Madrid will be looking to extend their league lead when they travel to Abanca-Balaidos Stadium to face Celta Vigo in the matchday 30.
The hosts are currently sitting in the 11 spot in the La Liga standings on 36 points from their 29 matches played, while Real Madrid are at the top of the table on 66 points, nine points ahead of second-placed Sevilla.
Celta Vigo enter the match off the back of a goalless draw against Real Betis in their last La Liga match which was played out on March 20, which extended their home unbeaten run to six, leaving them trailling sixth-placed Real Sociedad by 12 points for a spot in the Conference League Qualifiers.
The Sky Blues have picked up 19 points from a possible 45 on offer in 15 La Liga matches at Abanca-Balaidos this season. In their last six league matches, they have won one, drawn three and lost two.
The performances of Iago Aspas have been irreplaceable for Celta Vigo this season, with the striker leading the club with 13 goals, which is the fifth highest among the league’s top scorers.
Real Madrid suffered a 4-0 defeat against Barcelona at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in their last league match to break an eight-match unbeaten run, leaving them 12 points ahead of Blaugrana.
Los Blancos boast a fine away record this season with 10 victories, two draws and two losses in league matches on the road. They are currently on a three-match away unbeaten run in the league, and have not been beaten on the road since January 2 against Getafe.
When the two sides last met in La Liga action, Los Blancos took a 5-2 victory at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in September, and Celta Vigo are looking for their first league win in games between the sides since May 2014.
